[show]"Baretta" similarities are all over the place. Father Noah "Hardstep" Rivers acted as much like Tony Baretta as possible; the theme song was by the same composer and sung by the same person; frequent "Baretta" guest star Whitman Mayo got the top supporting-cast role; Father Noah and his buddy One Ball (Mayo) were pocket-billiards lovers (repeating Baretta's love for the game), and Blake, as executive producer, represented himself under the alias "Lyman P. Docker," the name of the title character (also an alias) from an episode in "Baretta'"s final season.

[show]NBC chief executive Brandon Tartikoff wanted to lure Robert Blake back to television, but claimed in his autobiography that "in order to try to screw somebody, I probably screwed myself." At the time Blake approached Tartikoff with the idea for a series, Blake was being considered for the role of David Addison on "Moonlighting." Tartikoff gleefully snapped up Blake for "Hell Town," causing "Moonlighting'"s producers to settle on their second choice, an actor who had recently appeared on NBC's "Miami Vice" and impressed them - Bruce Willis.
